Abstract

Depletion of oil reserves and environmental pollution is a global issue that is troubling humans within a few decades. This has resulted in soaring oil prices that will have great impact on the economy of the world today, at least developing countries like Indonesia. The increase in fuel prices had a direct impact on the increase in transport costs, the cost of industrial production and power generation. This means that there should be alternative energy sources. Biodiesel has been identified as one of the notable options for at least complementing conventional fuels. Its production from renewable biological sources such as vegetable oils and fats has been reviewed widely. Its advantages over petroleum diesel is safe, renewable, non-toxic, and biodegradable; it contains no sulphur; and it is a better lubricant. The utilization of fly ash as a suitable feedstock for use as heterogeneous catalyst for the transesterification would allow benefit of fly ash in an environmentally friendly way which would make the process more economically. In this research, solid fly ash prepared and treated using KOH to become an base catalyst. Then, transesterification process carried out by mixing Jatropha curcas oil, catalyst, and methanol to become methyl esters. This study showed that temperature affects on yield (%) of biodiesel production. Higher temperature increase the yield (%).
